First WI, completey underwhelming....

[zimmum]

I am doing great thanks have a migraine today but other than that diets going well! Trying to keep myself motivated as much as i can!! I have been doing 3 litres a day also... Will try to up the water and see if it makes a difference in my case too?

I have my weigh in tomorrow so I'm really hopeful for a bigger loss this time as I need to lose a good few pounds before the 30th of June, let's see what the scales say tomorrow!! :-/ xx

How did you get on with your WI Hun??

Skinnymummy I'm doing ok! I can't believe the difference having a good WI has made in me! I feel rearing to go now and confident that i will finally shift this mountain of fat I've got!!! How are you doing hun??

Although saying that though... I'm an RE teacher and i took a group of pupils to the Gurdwara where they feed you... And it would have been rude/disrespectful to not have taken at!! I managed to getaway with around 20 grams of some green bean curry, a spoonful of some cauliflower pickle and two bites of a chapatti! I feel so bad about it but I had a sneaky WI and I'm 19:3lbs and I know in the evening your weigh more so hopefully it won't make me gain too much, I've got until Wednesday to flush it out I need a loss or I won't be able to look my CDC in the eye!!

 

[skinnymummy]

Sorry just saw this.....yeah just flush it out n ve really good....drink 3litres n even a mild laxaative xx

Lol it's alright!! My CDC told me to up my water to 4 litres a day so I've had 5 today! I'm hoping the fact I've had just one Cambridge product and the calories from the kinda meal I had will balance it out!

Hey zimmum!! That's great news about your 3lbs loss! How have you found it this weekend??

I'm just so excited to see the scales going down! Especially after spending so long trying to eat healthily and doing mountains of exercise with no weight loss for weeks! ice lost more on CD than I dreamed I CD and it's only the start! Not so sure what my loss is going to be this week as it's my TOTM and I not all whack some on during it! :/

Hi Shazzy Shaz!

Weekend was very good actually! Thanks for asking! On Saturday my hubby's family had an engagement party for his cousin which involved a huge amount of food and cake! I had to prepare a great deal of munchies for the party as well! I am quite pleased to say that I did not taste any of the food I prepped nor did I feel tempted at all the food and cake displayed in front of me!

Today was my daughters joint birthday party with all 7 of her friends from our postnatal group and again I managed to dodge the cake there as well

It's amazing that I feel so good and didn't even wish to try a tiny bit!

On the down side I have not drunk as much water as I would have liked to because I feel so cold today and have no desire for even room temp water going down me! Have my hot water bottle, my socks on and a great big jumper!! Hope it's just the ketosis and not me coming down with something...Again!!!!

How has it all been for you this weekend! Did you get up to much?? Xx

 

[shazzy_shaz]

That's fantastic news about not caving in on not only once but twice! You must be so proud of yourself and the incredible determination you've shown already!!

My weekend was okay, I was kept busy by finally tackling the dreaded black hole that is otherwise known as my garage!! It took me all Saturday afternoon to get it sorted but on the plus side no food distractions and I must have toned something up as my arms were aching the next day... A double win!

I think the cold feeling must be a ketosis thing, ive taken to sipping to hot water which my sister Thinks is bonkers!! It's so strange as I've had trouble getting my water down today also! I'm putting it down to TOMT as I feel so bloated! From what I don't know as I'm SS so it'll be interesting at WI on weds as I normally gain weight during it!! I've got a sore throat coming on so I'm armed with the foul chloraspeptic spray it's horrid but a miracle worker on sore throats! I'd hope to avoid been I'll on CD as everything's so nutrient/mineral packed!!

 

[zimmum]

Hi Hun!

How's your throat feeling? I hope better!! I had a bad throaty/cold thing going on in my first week of diet!! Was horrible I wouldn't wish it upon anyone!!

Well done on your productive weekend!! I'm sure you must have had a good ol workout! always a bonus when trying to lose weight and tone up x

I have started drinking hot water today and find that really helps keeping warm! Mind you today was a warm day here! All the same I find it helps get the fluids into me as I am now bored of water lol

 

[shazzy_shaz]

Hey lady!! My throat problems still there like a pain in my side that keeps teasing me by easing off then pow just when I think it's safe to put the medicines away it comes back!! I wouldn't mind but I'm nearly at my week 4 now lol!!

My kitchens never looked so clean! I could see
my face in that floor!! I think I'm going to tackle the over grown jungle at the bottom of the garden this weekend... If I can face it on the day!!

I'm actually finding it hard to drink the water these past few days and I'm normally fab at drinking the clear stuff!! I'm flagging zimmum I'm going go nuts If my CDC suggests I up it from 4 to 5 litres as there's no way I'll be able to do it!!

How are you today? Ive got my trusty warm cup of water with me now as I'm feeling abit cold today despite the heat!!

 

[skinnymummy]

Get well soon shaky xx

 

[skinnymummy]

Shazzy sorry stupid auto text xx

 

[zimmum]

Hi hun!

This might sound and is very nasty but try gurgling with warm salty water! It acts as an antiseptic and should help calm your throat down!! I always avoid this until last resort! My CDC said avoid any lemon as it takes u out of ketosis...

I've been pretty good thanks! Drinking warm drinks for a bit of change which is helping to get the water down thanks to you

Lol about your kitchen! I'm exactly the same! I have even rearranged a few things in the house! Decluttering is an ongoing process!!! Lol

Hope you feel better soon xxx

 

[shazzy_shaz]

Well just got back and although I knew it was going to be bad as I normally whack on 5lbs or so I lost 1/2 lb! Despite knowing that it'd have a rubbish week I still felt gutted!! Especially as I lost 6 last last! But at least I know what to expect for my TOMT WI!! I secretly thought I'd overcome my usual bloat/ water retention on CD but alas it wasn't the case!!

Hey zimmmum i tried your suggestion! And youre right it was nasty! But it definitely worked I felt alot better afterwards! So I'm slowly defeating the cold monster!! How everything with you today?? X

 

[zimmum]

Aww atleast it was a loss! Not the same, not a gain but a loss!! ;-) you have done really well over the month! You should be proud of your achievement!!

I have got my weigh in tomorrow! I dunno why but I feel very deflated today!! am bored of sticking to the diet 100% and not seeing the results I want to each week! My goal was to lose a stone before my daughters party which is this Saturday! As the day approaches I am feeling more disappointed! :-/

Lol about the home remedy for sore throats! My late mum used to always tell me to do that! And when my CDC suggested it, I couldn't help laugh to myself! It does work a treat though! Haha xx

 

[shazzy_shaz]

That's what my CDC said and said that I have still lost 16lbs this month plus she's made a note of this week so next month I'll know to expect a pants loss again and be ready for it!

I know what you mean about nit feeling the CD as I'm getting slightly fed up of it... So I've tried to jazz up the products with either or chilli flakes to soups where I can! I just have to keep myself focused on the end gol! I might go window shopping to go and dream about fitting into the clothes in the shops I can't for into for some extra motivation!!

Im sure you're WI will be fabulous! I had a rubbish 2nd WI and my 3rd in was good! Try not to put too much pressure on yourself (apparently stress releases a hormone cortisol which can make you gain weight!) think of how longgg it'd take you to lose what you have on a 'normal' diet

 

[zimmum]

Lol I have been jazzing my soups up too!! But can't handle soup any more! It's really strange as I have really struggled with my products today! The cuppacino shake is one of my fav drinks and I was almost sick with it! Don't know what that is all about!!

You are right about the stress element playing a big negative role! But it's also a vicious circle when being overweight gets you down! :-/ I'm keeping positive about my weight loss journey! Just having an off CD day!! Lol xx

 

[shazzy_shaz]

Well just got back after my 5th week weigh in and I dropped 9lbs!!!! That's even more than my first week on the CD!! yay the diet is working again! I'm only 2lbs off my two stone mark!

Hope everyone else is doing okay!

 

[zimmum]

Wow! Well done shazzy! That's fantastic! You must be so proud of yourself! 2 stone in 5 weeks is quite an achievement!! X

I have come off sole source because of my migraines... I have been doing SS+ this week, It's been ok! Nice to actually chew food and feel satisfied my migraines have been less... Which is great! Dont know why i was getting so many whilst on ss...The only thing I can think of is the sweetener aspartame which appears in almost every product :-/

I won't be getting weighed today as CDC is on holiday but I do feel lighter! fingers crossed the scales will show it when I do get weighed xx
